They cancel my table for minutes late they ask me for a card because I came alone and they bring my bill before my water

The staff were incredibly knowledgeable about the food and provided excellent guidance and suggestions. The food itself was on par with any other I’ve had, if not better. I would definitely love to go back!

Beautiful lunch yesterday. Hearty, delicious food and drinks. Would definitely recommend getting the Madeline’s for pudding and taking some in a to go bag for later!

Sad establishment, sad people. Pretentious and unpleasant. The service is ice cold and lacks any modicum of attentiveness. We waited ages upon arrival to even be acknowledged, while lots of staff kept passing by just straight up ignoring us. The concept is rustic (paper tablecloth and menu, minimal decor, old crockery) and yet the staff were so uptight. Please treat your clientele with a bit of basic respect. The food was satisfactory at best (cabbage swimming in water, carrots weren't properly trimmed). It wasn't terrible, but it resembled something I could haphazardly throw together in my kitchen. Perhaps they've taken the "rustic" concept a little too literally. Overall a forgettable experience, and most definitely overhyped.

In a room of white so still,
Where linens drape and time stands still,
Plates arrive, a work of art,
Each a feast, a perfect start.
The menu shifts with each new day,
Check ahead, don’t lose your way.
The staff will guide if you’re unsure,
A dining haven, calm and pure.
For six we booked, a lucky find,
Weeks ahead, the stars aligned.
Crab and herring, bright and bold,
Flavors fresh and stories told.
Gurnard, golden, placed with care,
Pork cheek rich beyond compare.
Greens and potatoes on the side,
Simple joys that none denied.
Then dessert—a final cheer,
Honeycomb and sponge appear.
Sticky, sweet, and deeply spun,
Every bite a perfect one.
Steep the price, but worth it all,
A meal to hold, a night to call.
For here, the food alone will shine,
A masterpiece in every line.

Was everything OK? Sigh *YEA*. However, what was the point in complaining? Sending it back would have only resulted in the same thing, and that's not the maddening experience one needs. All was as the kitchen intended, but nothing was right. Seriously underwhelming, verging on the reason why other nations have notions that food in the UK is terrible. Thankful for the brown crab and pigeon. Bored by the bread that came with many items and required a hacksaw, as well as the sad tasteless marrow. A true disappointment, set in a space that seems to have have the joy sucked out of it, close to resembling a morgue. Simple done well is hard to do, and St John has done it (once upon a time), but might now be time to give it a hard pass.

Had a tremendous lunch here, food, wine & service was top notch. The Welsh rarebit was incredible and the freshly baked madelines a delightful end.

Lewis is the best waiter in town. And Laurent, thank you for the table. Excellent food, with character. Must go.

Our favourite restaurant. Never been disappointed and the service is always on point, offering everything from great wine pairings to just an all around fun time! We love st. John!
EDIT: Unfortunately on our last visit the service was sub par. All the staff we interacted with (with exception of the host) seemed uninterested with our waitress not providing the usual enthusiasm or knowledge we have come to know at this restaurant. We would annually visit St John to meet with distant friends, but moving forward we will be looking elsewhere for our catch ups. It is a shame, as we hold fond memories of the place.

Took a pilgrimage to St. John. Food was stellar except for the guinea fowl which was just a touch dry. The fried tripe, bone marrow (obviously), and the pigs cheek were all delicious. Don’t skip the puddings.

Ojo cuidado. Literalment tothom m'havia recomanat aquest lloc I amb raó. El bone marrow es excepcional, despres de provarlo El Welsh rarebit sembla una llesca que et faries a Les 3 del mati Quan tornes a casa borratxo amb gana, esta bona pero te la pots estalviar. Vam fer un entrant mes I El pie, que esta molt bo i es gegantí. Vam acabar demanantlo per endur. S'havien de provar Les Magdalenes I no decepcionen, broche de Oro a una bona cita. El vi El serveixen en El mateix got que serveixen l'aigua que es El que TE la teva Avia a casa seva em VA agradar molt. Bon servei desenfadat I alegre alhora que cordial.

A disappointing visit to what had been one of our favorite restaurants. The quality of the food at St. John has always been the foundation of our love for the institution, but it feels as though there isn’t the same care for the preparation as there has been in the past. The bone marrow was remarkably dry. The other dishes lacked any flavor. The only saving graces were the Welsh rarebit and the lemon tart.

One of the best meals I've had in recent memory, it feels rare that every dish available is individually brilliant.
The beef pie for two was amazing, and even better for the sheer size allowing for a second helping the next day!

I wanna say a lot but I can sum it up by saying that this is my favourite restaurant in the world
